Within Winter
August 8, 2011
Everything is calmness outside
Snow covers the world’s imperfections
Silencing the roar of reality
Squelching the insignificant.
Inside, though, is turmoil.
Hands too long idle turn to violence.
Hearts too long stifled turn to vengeance.
Inside, imperfections are magnified and reality rears its head and roars.
Inside my heart is turmoil
Threatening to overflow.
I try to cover the battlefields
And cool the anger
With a snowstorm in my soul
Or wait for spring.

Do not let the things you cannot do interfere with the things that you can do
No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist.
